Default What do you think about the price for this car?

Hello fellow Clublexus members,

I was wondering if 10k for a 2004 silver is300 clean title with 108,000 miles with a 5 speed was a good price. Also the time belt, clutch, and water pump was replaced plus the 100k mile maintenance was done.

Thanks.

i just bought a blue one. 103k miles. Changed water pump and timing belt. Its a little lowered has springs, everything else is stock, looks really nice. I paid $7700. Keep looking, thats not a good deal at all sorry buddy besides its silver...not the best color imo. When i was shopping around i didnt really even look at silver ones.

Dude check within like 250 miles of you. I had to drive about 4 hours for cars before. Its not that bad just tell the guy to send you a million photos of the car before you go. Youl have a lot more options. Also, maybe you dont know, instead of craigslist, go to www.searchtempest.com its basically a search engine for craigslist. You put in your zip code and see within how many miles of you you are looking to buy. Its a great tool!

Also why do you want a 5 speed so bad? I mean yea sure its manual...but did you know that the automatic transmission on the is300 can hold more horsepower than the manual?

Keep looking, 10k is a bit steep for that kind of mileage.
